16.12 	learning skills, and lower levels of learning motivation and self-confidence.

16.29 	network for addressing digital well-being. LiveMore ScreenLess must collaborate, coordinate,

16.31 	overuse and misuse with other advocates of young people.

40.6 	provided in this section to address the impact of disruptions to in-person instruction on 
40.7 	students' access to a free appropriate public education related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
40.8 		Subd. 2.Special education services and supports. (a) A school district or charter school 
40.9 	that serves one or more students with disabilities must invite the parents of a student with 
40.10 	a disability to a meeting of each individualized education program (IEP) team as soon as 
40.11 	practicable but no later than December 1, 2021, to determine whether special education 
40.12 	services and supports are necessary to address lack of progress on IEP goals or in the general 
40.13 	education curriculum or loss of learning or skills due to disruptions related to the COVID-19 
40.14 	pandemic. The services and supports may include but are not limited to extended school 
40.15 	year services, additional IEP services, compensatory services, or other appropriate services. 
40.16 	This meeting may occur in an annual or other regularly scheduled IEP meeting. If the IEP 
40.17 	team determines that the services and supports are necessary, the team shall determine what 
40.18 	services and supports are appropriate for the student and when and how those services 
40.19 	should be provided, in accordance with relevant guidance from the Minnesota Department 
40.20 	of Education and the United States Department of Education. The services and supports 
40.21 	must be included in the IEP of the student. A district or charter school must report to the 
40.22 	commissioner, in the form and manner determined by the commissioner, the services and 
40.23 	supports provided to students with disabilities under this section, including the cost of 
40.24 	providing the services.
40.25 	(b) In determining whether a student is eligible for services and supports described in 
40.26 	paragraph (a), and what services and supports are appropriate for the student, the IEP team 
40.27 	must consider, in conjunction with any other considerations advised by guidance from the 
40.28 	Minnesota Department of Education or the United States Department of Education:
40.29 	(1) services and supports provided to the student before the disruptions to in-person 
40.30 	instruction related to the COVID-19 pandemic;
40.31 	(2) the ability of the student to access services and supports;
40.32 	(3) the student's progress toward IEP goals, including the goals in the IEP in effect before 
40.33 	disruptions to in-person instruction related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and progress in the 
40.34 	general education curriculum;
41.1 	(4) the student's regression or lost skills resulting from disruptions to instruction;
41.2 	(5) other significant influences on the student's ability to participate in and benefit from 
41.3 	instruction related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including family loss, changed family

41.6 	student's ability to benefit from school, including academic supports, behavioral supports, 
41.7 	mental health supports, related services, and other services and supports.
41.8 	(c) When considering how and when the services and supports described in paragraph 
41.9 	(a) should be provided, the IEP team must take into account the timing and delivery method 
41.10 	most appropriate for the student, such as time of day, day of the week, or time of year, and 
41.11 	the availability of other services accessible to the student to address learning loss. The IEP 
41.12 	team may determine that providers in addition to school district or charter school staff are 
41.13 	most appropriate to provide the services and supports described in paragraph (a).
41.14 	(d) A school district or charter school must make available the services and supports 
41.15 	included in an IEP, as described in paragraph (a), until the IEP team determines that services 
41.16 	and supports are no longer necessary to address lack of progress on IEP goals or in the 
41.17 	general education curriculum or loss of learning or skills due to disruptions related to the 
41.18 	COVID-19 pandemic.
41.19 	(e) A school district providing special education services on a shared time basis to a 
41.20 	student enrolled in a nonpublic school must offer the student special education services and 
41.21 	supports in accordance with this section.
41.22 	(f) The commissioner may identify school district, charter school, and cooperative unit 
41.23 	pandemic-related expenses incurred under this section, and if the commissioner determines 
41.24 	the costs are eligible for funding using the additional funds set aside under the American 
41.25 	Rescue Plan Act, section 2014, for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the 
41.26 	commissioner may allocate the federal funds for 100 percent of the costs of the services 
41.27 	provided under this section and exclude these expenses from state special education aid 
41.28 	under Minnesota Statutes, sections 125A.76 and 125A.79.

41.33 	plan who are enrolled in medical assistance and, whenever possible, avoid duplication of

48.18 	service may prepare or serve milk, meals, or snacks in connection with school or community 
48.19 	service activities.
48.20 	(c) Revenues and expenditures for food service activities must be recorded in the food 
48.21 	service fund. The costs of processing applications, accounting for meals, preparing and

48.28 	attributable to the food service program may be charged to the food service fund provided 
48.29 	that the school district does not employ or contract with a food service director or other 
48.30 	individual who manages the food service program, or food service management company. 
48.31 	If the cost of the superintendent or fiscal manager is charged to the food service fund, the 
48.32 	charge must be at a wage rate not to exceed the statewide average for food service directors 
48.33 	as determined by the department.
49.1 	(d) Capital expenditures for the purchase of food service equipment must be made from 
49.2 	the general fund and not the food service fund, unless the restricted balance in the food 
49.3 	service fund at the end of the last fiscal year is greater than the cost of the equipment to be 
49.4 	purchased.

49.6 	from the food service fund.
49.7 	(f) If a deficit in the food service fund exists at the end of a fiscal year, and the deficit 
49.8 	is not eliminated by revenues from food service operations in the next fiscal year, then the 
49.9 	deficit must be eliminated by a permanent fund transfer from the general fund at the end of 
49.10 	that second fiscal year. However, if a district contracts with a food service management 
49.11 	company during the period in which the deficit has accrued, the deficit must be eliminated 
49.12 	by a payment from the food service management company.
49.13 	(g) Notwithstanding paragraph (f), a district may incur a deficit in the food service fund 
49.14 	for up to three years without making the permanent transfer if the district submits to the 
49.15 	commissioner by January 1 of the second fiscal year a plan for eliminating that deficit at 
49.16 	the end of the third fiscal year.
49.17 	(h) If a surplus in the food service fund exists at the end of a fiscal year for three 
49.18 	successive years, a district may recode for that fiscal year the costs of lunchroom supervision, 
49.19 	lunchroom custodial services, lunchroom utilities, and other administrative costs of the food 
49.20 	service program charged to the general fund according to paragraph (c) and charge those 
49.21 	costs to the food service fund in a total amount not to exceed the amount of surplus in the 
49.22 	food service fund.

49.24 	make lunch available without charge and must not deny a school lunch to all participating 
49.25 	students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals, whether or not that student has an

49.27 	any other reason.
49.28 		Subd. 5.Respectful treatment. (a) The participant must also provide meals to students 
49.29 	in a respectful manner according to the policy adopted under subdivision 1. The participant 
49.30 	must ensure that any reminders for payment of outstanding student meal balances do not 
49.31 	demean or stigmatize any child participating in the school lunch program., including but 
49.32 	not limited to dumping meals, withdrawing a meal that has been served, announcing or 
49.33 	listing students' names publicly, or affixing stickers, stamps, or pins. The participant must 
49.34 	not impose any other restriction prohibited under section 123B.37 due to unpaid student 
50.1 	meal balances. The participant must not limit a student's participation in any school activities, 
50.2 	graduation ceremonies, field trips, athletics, activity clubs, or other extracurricular activities 
50.3 	or access to materials, technology, or other items provided to students due to an unpaid 
50.4 	student meal balance.
50.5 	(b) If the commissioner or the commissioner's designee determines a participant has 
50.6 	violated the requirement to provide meals to participating students in a respectful manner, 
50.7 	the commissioner or the commissioner's designee must send a letter of noncompliance to 
50.8 	the participant. The participant is required to respond and, if applicable, remedy the practice 
50.9 	within 60 days.

50.10 	Sec. 2. SCHOOL NUTRITION FORMULAS ADJUSTED.

50.12 	2020-2021 school year, the commissioner of education may adjust the appropriations under 
50.13 	Laws 2020, chapter 116, article 6, sections 20, 21, and 22, as amended by this act, as specified
